Steve will always be captain America, sure they change it up every once and a while (anyone remember Nomad?) but ultimately every one of the "main" characters in the Marvel Universe return to basics after a bit. I don't know if different writers want to put there own stamp on the title, or they think it keeps things fresh to change the character completely, or there attempting to "diversify" in the most asinine way possible (lady Thor, Hispanic/black Spidey, falcon-cap). but at the end of the day Peter Parker is Spider Man, Thor... well ain't it obvious is the Odin SON, and Steve Rodgers is Captain America, Unless The marvel Cinematic universe starts putting out more films (like 10-12 a year) I don't see them being able to condense long view death, replacement, and complicated rebirth story lines easily. I personally hate when someone takes up the mantel of a mainstay figure. I think it's just lazy writing and it takes away from legitimate character development (like in the case of Falcon) Ok Cap's down and Falcon needs to pick up the slack, fine but just changing the wing suit to red and blue makes you Cap now? no you're American Falcon at best! or hell they could have tied the patriot thing in with The Eagle!
